April 2021

month one with our Benny boy

Wellll now that we have the cutest baby ever. Prepare for a zillion pictures. :)

My mom + DJ are still here and it has been so nice to have them to take care of us. We pretty much just hang out all day.

This series kills me!

Benny's first Passover!

Ahh so many newborn snuggles.

I'm updating this two years later... as I look back on these pictures I wish I could give myself a hug. I would reassure her that everything is going to be okay. I remember the crippling postpartum anxiety and how overwhelming everything felt. I remember how terrible I felt about my body. If I had to do it again, I would give myself so much more grace.

My mom and DJ left so it was just us! Benson's first Easter!

Logan's back to school... trying to get the hang of this new life!

I can't believe it's officially Benny's due date. April 7th. I'm sooo glad we've already had 2.5 weeks together!

Look how cute this new photo display is!

Can you tell how much we love playing with him all day?!

We ventured out for a hot dog place Logan wanted to try. Ah! Everything feels so much more complicated to leave the house.

Breastfeeding has been next level hard. I feel like I am failing and I don't know what to do. Benson is gaining weight slightly slower than they would like... but I really don't want to give him formula. I did a massive amount of research and purchased a Dutch brand of formula to have on hand if I did HAVE to give him some. He has been given bits here and there but it is literally soo hard on me.

Twinners!

Logan has been wanting to buy Priority Bikes for a while. I honestly can't wrap my brain around buying a bike. It's how my dad died. I know logicially, we aren't biking like he was biking. But it's still messing with my mind.

In the middle of the night, I pulled the trigger. Purchased two bikes and a bike trailer. AH!
